Cécile Raynal
Sandra and the beaks by Cécile Raynal - Smoke-fired stoneware sculpture, woman

2018

About the Item

Sandra and the beaks is a unique smoke-fired stoneware and pigments sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 170 × 50 × 54 cm (66.9 × 19.7 × 21.3 in). Dimensions include wooden base. This sculpture is a unique piece signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity. This sculpture shows two birds and a seated woman. Although they don't seem to want to talk to her, their actions are unclear. They are showing signs of both affection and attachment as they seem to want to kiss her, but they are also acting menacingly by putting their beaks dangerously close to her face. Cécile Raynal uses sculpture as a way of exploring the world, between documentary and fiction. Thus she often sets up her workshop in remote, forgotten or marginal places, that she goes over and then reconstructs in clay. A prison, a retirement home, a hospital, a convent, a cargo-ship… are among the places in which she invites the inhabitants to pose for her, so as to sculpt their portraits and capture these rare encounters.
